Category: the year in haiku

To find acceptance
First forgive your shortcomings
Then others may too 

Ignore the nay-sayers
Cultivate trust in your self
This is how you grow

Relish abundance
No one else’s joy robs yours 
Plenty to go round

Plans will give you hope
You still need to make a start
Take the steps you need

Get out of that rut
Think ahead positively
Plan to meet those goals

Let go of clutter
Keep hold of just what you need
Keep things that spark joy

Trapped in our beliefs:
The limited perceptions
We strive to break free

Others’ opinions:
Release them with empathy
Proceed unfettered

The endgame begins
Close attention to detail
Nothing less will do

Ignore the downsides
Be thankful for the upsides
Positive motion

In recovery
Returning to usefulness
Plod on steadily

Keep a steady head
Conquer fear of the unknown
Hold your nerve steady

In at the deep end
Afloat, the depth can’t harm you
Head for the shallows

The best laid of plans
Will still sometimes not work out
What is the next step?

Time to head for home
Thankful for the adventure
Ready to restart
